Tommy Thompson: World Dictator

I'll take a break from Ron Paul already on my second post and talk about something else.

I thought Tommy Thompson was asked a very good question during the Fox News Republican debate on May 15. During the May 3rd Republican debate, he stated that he would make the Iraqi goverment hold an up or down vote on whether or not the Iraqi people wanted the United States' military to stay in Iraq. The moderator on May 15 asked him by what authority he would do this. Thompson did not answer the question. Instead, he repeated his May 3rd response on why he favored such a vote.

I would welcome such a vote in Iraq, but someone needs to inform Tommy Thompson that he is not running for dictator of the world. Iraq is a sovereign country. The United States goverment has no authority to dictate what kinds of elections the Iraqi goverment must, is allowed to, or may not hold.
